Handcrafted in South Africa
Handcrafted outdoor saunas, made in South Africa and created for moments worth slowing down for.
More Than a Sauna
BANYA creates spaces to unwind, reconnect and enjoy time differently. Not a product to be installed and forgotten, but a reason to come back — at the start of the day, at the end of a long week, or whenever the world needs turning down.
Created with purpose
Every BANYA sauna is handcrafted in South Africa by skilled craftsmen. From selecting the timber to manufacturing, finishing and installation, every step is carefully considered to create a sauna made to last.
Whether it's the start of the day, the end of a busy week, or an evening shared with family and friends — BANYA creates space to slow down and reconnect.
Built locally by experienced craftsmen, not imported flat-packed and assembled on site.
Harvia heaters, stainless steel fixtures and thermally treated timber — chosen for performance and longevity.
The range is developed to work across different gardens, decks, farms and rooftops — not just showrooms.
From first enquiry through to installation, you deal directly with the BANYA team.
Our Craft
Nordic Pine, certified for 30 years and selected board by board for stability outdoors.
Staves are shaped, fitted and drawn together — the barrel holds itself in compression.
Harvia heaters and stainless steel fixtures, chosen to last in the weather they'll live in.
Benches, backrests, doors and glass fitted by hand and carefully checked before each sauna leaves.
Delivered, levelled and commissioned by the very team who built it.

A solid, level surface — decking, paving or compacted gravel. Allow at least 2.5 × 2.5m of floor space. We don't do ground preparation ourselves, so you'll need a third party for that. Talk to us early if you're unsure about the space.
We provide an outdoor DB board with an isolator mounted to the back of the sauna. These can be set for single phase or three phase. Your electrician will need to run the appropriate cable and breakers from your main DB board.
Wood fired gives you the ritual — the fire, the smell, the softer heat — and needs no electrical supply for the heater. Electric holds temperature precisely and is more convenient. Both use Harvia heaters.

Each BANYA is built to order, so allow 8 to 12 weeks from the day of deposit. We’ll give you a firm timeline when you order. Get your ground preparation and cabling done as early as possible.
Yes, for the 2–4 person barrel, in the Western Cape only. R6 950 per month on a minimum six-month contract, plus a R6 500 once-off set-up and collection fee within 80 km of Somerset West. Electrical work and ground preparation are for your account. It isn’t a rent-to-own arrangement.
